5 Places to visit in Tulum

   Tucked away on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, Tulum is a piece of a dream. If you are a spiritual yogi, honeymooner, history buff, or art aficionado, Tulum will serve you in the best possible way. Be it a private resort with pristine beaches, architectural wonders, and street art, or culinary delights, you have been covered by Mexico's hottest boho-chic town, Tulum. This boho-chic Mexican city, Tulum, was once a sleepy town, but with the influx of social media influencers, entrepreneurs, and investors, it has become Mexico's hottest destination. Food is prepared to perfection, the music flows to the most fantastic DJ's tune, and boutiques are full of kind finds. Sparkling white sand, beautiful blue water, and cascading jungles adorn this beautiful land. Here are my top picks:   

1. Tulum Ruins: A few miles from Tulum town, tucked away in natural beauty, this site is different in that the ruins are situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Located at the end of Tulum’s northern beach, Playa Paraiso Azulic. The breathtaking view of the ocean, combined with the rustic and earthy character of the ruins, makes it spectacular. It features some of the best-preserved ruins in Mexico, which were destroyed 20 centuries ago. It is a rustic place of towering pyramids, stunning temples, and columns. A few facts: 1. Be ready to walk and wear comfortable shoes. 2. Visit as early as possible to avoid the crowd and the hot sun. 3. Always wear a hat to avoid sun damage. 4. Carry water bottles as it's hot and humid once you go inside. There are no shops to buy water bottles. 5. A mask is required here. 6. Avoid Sundays, as entrance is free for Mexican residents on Sundays, which can result in extremely crowded conditions.

3. Sfer Ik: On your Tulum trip, visiting the Sfer Ik Museum inside the Azulik Resort and Hotel adds a unique experience totally different from what Tulum offers. An alluring architectural display of biophilic design created by Eduardo Neira or Roth. Upon entering, please remove your shoes and leave them at the door. Additionally, please note that professional cameras are not permitted; only phone cameras are accepted. This whimsical place was created with sheer imagination without any sketch or blueprint. Harmony with nature and modern human vision is achieved, utilizing locally sourced materials and traditional craftsmanship. Mileage of spirituality and sheer relaxation, Sfer IK is a charming retreat. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   

   
   
   
   
4. Grand Cenote: The prettiest and most popular cenote in Tulum. It’s easily accessible by taxi, about a 5-minute ride from town. You can make it an all-day activity, whether you prefer snorkeling or swimming in the gorgeous, crystal-clear water. You can totally score some cool Insta-worthy pictures. It opens around 8:15 a.m., and you can avoid a considerable crowd by visiting closer to the opening time.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Laguna de Kaan Luum: Rarely crowded, Laguna is one of the hidden gems in the southwest of Tulum. Relax on the hammock, snorkeling or swimming, or jump from the wooden board. Clean, crystal clear blue water to rejuvenate or take some great pictures. This place costs 300 pesos per person.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
6. Ven a la Luz sculpture: When consciousness and creativity come together. Popular artist Daniel's 33-foot-tall sculpture Ven a La Luz in Tulum is made of rope, steel, and greenery. Unfolded to the public in the 2018 "Art with Me" festival to raise awareness of the Tulum.
